We all know the struggles associated with looking for housing. From setting your price limit to choosing roommates, the entire process is no easy task. So here's a breakdown of the housing search, as told by kittens.

1. First, you see all the houses you want, but cannot have.


Whether it's because the house is out of your price range or because another group already locked it down, there's always that house you wish you could have for your own. It's your ideal house in the perfect location and has a great layout. Kiss your dream goodbye.


2. Then you start fighting with another group who applied for the same house as you.

But you want the house and you saw it first. You feel as though it's yours already, and you don't want another group to steal the house from you. You start plotting of ways to secure the house.


3. You start thinking it might be a good idea to just live in a cardboard box.

Time to give up now. If you live in a cardboard box, you won't have to pay for utilities or deal with roommates. It's the perfect solution.


4. Or maybe you could share the cardboard box with a roommate.

The two of you would grow so much closer and bond over the experience. No, scratch that. That's a horrible idea.


5. It progresses to the point where you spend all day searching the Internet for a good house.

And your parents have to tell you to relax a little. You search Craigslist, Zillow, Facebook, whatever it will take so that you won't be homeless. But there's such a thing as trying too hard.


6. But then a new house opens up on the market, and you rush to be the first to apply.

The adrenaline kicks in and you hurry to fill out all the forms and applications to demonstrate that you would be an organized and responsible tenant to the landlords.


7. You and your roommates try to look good for the interview with the property owner.

You hope that if you dress nice enough, the landlord will think you are a great group of people who should live in his or her house. You will be nicely groomed and dressed to impress. I mean, who doesn't judge people by their appearances?


8. And you try to win the landlord over.

Free massages for a year? A platter of delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies? You do whatever it will take for that the owner gives the house to your group.


9. Then the owner lets you know that you and your group will be the new tenants.

And all you want to do his hug him or her. You can't get over how happy you are and how thankful you are to your new landlord for assuring that you wont be homeless.


10. Finally, you can be at peace.

No more stress or panic, because you have a house. Now you can sleep and relax without a worry in the world.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
